Welcome to Looe Old Cornwall Society.
Founded: 1927
Colours: Red, White & Green
We also have a Facebook page with our latest news and posts.
We meet at St Martin’s Hall, St Martin’s Rd, Looe PL13 1FA, where there is ample free parking. Meetings start at 2.30 pm and end around 4.30 pm after tea and home-made cake.
Annual membership subscription is £10; non-members are very welcome, at a charge of £2 per meeting.
Additional social activities will include a lunch at a Looe hotel, boat trips to Polperro and up the West Looe River, a train ride on the Looe Valley line, with a walk round Liskeard guided by Brian Oldham. These are usually only open to members, but there may be spaces available.
You don’t have to be old or Cornish to join or attend!
